What is dendrites?

Dendrites are branch-like extensions of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body. They play a crucial role in the communication between neurons in the nervous system.

Dendrites are the branched extensions of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons. They are covered in synapses, which are the points of contact between neurons. Dendrites transmit signals to the soma, or cell body, of the neuron. The number and shape of dendrites can vary depending on the type of neuron.
